Picturesque location, friendly staff

Beautiful location on the mountain, walk out the door and onto the trails. Quaint, rustic, comfortable, an open fire each night and delicious home cooking made for a relaxing stay. Dean and the staff really looked after us. A great two nights away.

it was privileged to stay a couple of nights in the National Park and in the midst of high quality walks. The place has loads of history but you can see it is a bit tired after serving hikers and tourists for more than a century. We loved it and promised to come back in colder months.

Fabulous dinner meal prepared by Connor. Best meal on our trip. Room seemed tired and needed some repairs. Room also needed some better cleaning. Spiderwebs and dead flies everywhere. Room light switch was worn out and worked intermittedly. Veryblittle noise barrier between rooms. Could hear neighbors conversatiins.

Disliked: Cleanliness, staff & service, property conditions & facilities
There was no hot water to take a shower or wash your face. They have an electricity problem this year and can’t supply hot water on a regular basis. The bathroom was old and dark - especially since the lights didn’t always work. They have no business booking guests for $190 a night with this situation. I want my money back!

Diamond in the rough

Don’t stay at Dawson Falls if your looking for a modern hotel with amenities. You stay here if you want to spend time in nature - Falls are a few minutes away and excellent hikes from 1-4 hours in duration around the mountain. The food and hosts were excellent.

This is a hidden gem that deserves to be better known. Nestled in the bush on the slopes of Mt Taranaki is a peaceful retreat. The friendly staff go out of their way to make feel at home. The room was clean and comfortable with wonderful views. We enjoyed a very nice meal at night and a continental breakfast in the morning. A lovely relaxing stay.

Loved it

We loved Dawsons Falls Lodge, the service and hospitality was second to none. Unfortunately it sounds like the lodge will be under new management soon so I cant speak from here on out. We absolutely loved the lodge and everything about it, but be prepared the Wi Fi is spotty and the lodge runs on DC power so you have to be careful not to fry your electronics. But for a lodge that's over 100 years old, on the side of a mountain, with a waterfall 5 minutes away there's no need for anything else but your sense of adventure. We didn't get to hike Golblens woods because of rain but there is a LOTR filming location there as well. We will defiantly stay there again, and so should you.

Mountain lodge with lots of character

Kind staff, beautiful mountain lodge with lots.of character, good dinner. Recommended if you want to sleep just steps away from the walking trails! Only weakness is the bathrooms, that would benefit from renovation
